A new Intel Focus investigation highlights continued sanctions-related risks linked to Kazakhstan’s trade in sensitive electronic goods, underscoring how post-2022 export controls remain vulnerable to circumvention. The report focuses on dual-use goods, commodities that have legitimate civilian applications but can also be repurposed for military use. At the centre of the analysis are electronic integrated circuits and microchips classified under HS code 8542, alongside related items such as advanced computing components and telecommunications equipment. These goods are prioritised under US and EU export control regimes due to their relevance to weapons systems, intelligence platforms, surveillance technologies and unmanned systems.
